No, they still can spot and block it. The only way it can be hard to block for an ISP is if DoH used domain fronting style collateral freedom, but that didn't turn out to work in practice as governments found even the largest corporati

Try to search DoH on HN, these issues were discussed many times before. Essentially DoH leaks more data to more third parties, without being able to withhold that data from those who already can get it, hence violating privacy, not improvin

Cloudflare doesn't welcome you if you don't let it track you and run arbitrary code it injects. You can verify that by disabling javascript and/or using proxies, vpns, tor.

DoH doesn't bring any privacy or censorship circumvention, it still allows ISPs to mine and monetize browsing history all they want, only creating temporary inconvenience. It lets more parties to get your data though and is more friend

Obviously no consistency guarantees. To be fair, strong consistency models don't work for client side caching and strong eventual consistency while works, almost no one in the world implements it yet.

I don't think there is any mismatch, it was always three nines. I guess the only mismatch is in claims that three nines is enough to not be noticeable or annoying to people.

They rely on a single network infrastructure as opposed to many independent networks with independent edge nodes where isolating faults is rather trivial in comparison.

No, not to work with a running system someone else operates, but to run it in production yourself.

Any CDN is a single point of failure and limits your availability to as low as three nines. Although anycast-based CDNs like Cloudflare are much less reliable than DNS-based CDNs, those can do orders of magnitude better.

As I understand the point about Go complaint is to parse actual real world robots.txt. For which you don't need to behave exactly as this library does.

Very few people follow the specification or even know it exists.

Do you even need to match Google's robots.txt parsing behavior? With less than 1000 lines you can be pretty sure they are not doing it right and are breaking plenty of people's assumptions about it. Either way you have to test it

Right. And with open source software decades old programs can be compiled without issues too using last known good compilers, toolchains, libraries, preserving all the old bugs and vulnerabilities, just like on mainframes, but for free. So

But why raise tickets though? Since they already measure CPU utilization, it's not hard to also lower priority or throttle CPU or move such VMs to a separate machine where they can't affect anyone but other heavy CPU users.
